for a career in a high growth industry.
These high
tech professional development training workshops are taught by a
world-class faculty consisting of professors from Stanford
University, NASA, California Institute of Nanotechnology and
other leading organizations and industry partners.
Currently Offered Training
Program
The Certified Nanotechnology &
Clean Technology Professional
The 8-week certificate program
is designed to train the participants for professional jobs with
an opportunity for advancement in the high growth industries of
nanotechnology and clean technology. The certificate
classroom/lab training courses will equip you to enter into the
emerging nanotech and clean tech industries. Students will be
expected to demonstrate their acquired knowledge through problem
solving, group discussions, and project development.
In
addition to classroom learning and group project research
assignment, students are expected to participate in industry
seminars which will be held on Thursdays at 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
and complete a hand-on learning coursework on how to use a

Certified Photovoltaic Practitioner
The Certified Photovoltaic
Practitioner (CCP) program is designed for those
individuals wanting to get into the high-growth solar
energy industry. The program provides basic
knowledge comprehension and application of
photovoltaic (solar electric) system operations.
The CCP certificate prepares the student to
pass the NABCEP Entry Level Certificate exam.
The NABCEP Entry Level Certificate of
Knowledge exam is based on a set of learning
objectives developed by a NABCEP Committee of PV subject
matter experts.
Photovoltaic Energy Practitioners design
and install solar panels on buildings. It’s a highly
technical process that involves a careful consideration of
location and angles. The solar installer is also
responsible for making sure the panels are properly
connected to the building’s electrical system and any “smart”
two-way metering systems (which allow customers to
get paid for surplus energy they generate)
that may be present.
The Learning
Objectives include ten (10) skill sets:
·
PV Markets and
Applications
·
Safety Basics
·
Electricity Basics
·
Solar Energy
Fundamentals
·
PV Module
Fundamentals
·
System Components
·
PV System Sizing
·
